Been wanting a nice 2560x1440 27" for a while, and after looking at the Samsung SA850 reviews, it's winning for me so far (although I'm going to be waiting till there are more reviews on it before I get it)

Problem is, it's not going to feel right getting a new primary screen, without upgrading my other screens too, my first though was "Ah, make it simple, just get 3 of the 27 screens, and use them all in portrait" but then I decided it's probably rather ridiculous, both size, and price wise.

I like my current setup with portrait monitors on the side, so I then thought, maybe I could get a couple of 22-24" screens for the side, and stick them in portrait, but then they would be quite a lot taller than my main, so I wasn't sure I would like the look of it.

So, does anyone have any idea for alternatives, or opinions on my previous ideas?

This is my current setup:

Looks like the EX1920 is actually 1360x769, not 1440x900, unless the EX1920NW is different to the EX1920, as I can't find the NW on samsung's website.

1920x1080 27" side screens, I hadn't considered... Although, when I watch movies, I would just watch it on the Samsung anyway, and I'm not sure how keen I would be with the pixel pitch of the 1080s.

I think currently, the portrait 1440*900 19" screens are winning for me, are there any that are IPS panels? As my current portrait TNs can get a little annoying with the colour shift...
